Play Multiplayer Tron Arcade Game In Linux Terminal

When it comes to gaming in Linux, Linux has an added advantage of Terminal games.

These ‘terminal games’ are played in the Linux command line terminal. Unlike the usual games, terminal games are mostly in ASCII display. ASCII might not sound fancy, and it isn’t.
